Video Update: Gulf-to-Arctic Canoe Crew Has Reached Minnesota River

When we last heard from the Rediscover North America canoe expedition, they were nearing the end of the Mississippi on their 5,200-mile journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. Now, after a few relaxing days in St. Paul and resupplying on Velveeta for the trip’s second half, they’re paddling up the Minnesota River. The next big milestone: The first downstream section of the trip on the Red River, which will take the crew into Canada.
